I was wondering if anyone has seen a program to edit the startup folder (not the login items). 10.2.3 takes 90 sec. to load, 10.2.2 before that did about the same time. There was a program I found (think it was shareware) that allows us to tweak the startup files, but I can't find it now. It's not StartupItem Manager 1.0. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, but that's not it. The one I'm thinking of is similar, but alot more user-friendly for those of us not "tech-savy". It even has explanations on what each of the startup items do. Pretty cool. It's killing me cuz I can't remember the name of it!
